Not developing does not equal infertile.

that's the best question in the entire thread!

I tossed it. The egg was the most porous one and cracked....a double whammy in my book. It was also leaking so.....I doubt it would be viable. Bacteria could get in there.
ETA:
Ok I dug thru the trash and found the egg intact. And I couldn't see a bulls eye just the usual white dot...I stared at it very closely and under differnt light too. No bullseye.

But, was it fertile? Did you check for a bullseye?

8 of the 14 she sent were smashed due to poor wrapping. She offered to send more, but I was so upset with the process that I decided against it. I don't see any development in the rest of them..hard to tell as the eggs were beautiful chocolate. I didn't ask for a refund, even though the wrapping was atrocious. She sent the eggs.

I do not think simply sending eggs is enough to rate positive feedback - I know a lot of folks likely sell on here, might have had someone leave negative feedback for eggs that were well wrapped, could have hatched in ideal circumstances and did not hatch . . which isn't fair; however, IF someone sells eggs that are oddly shaped or poorly packaged and broken - giving you little chance of a hatch . . .they should get negative feedback and you'd likely win a dispute. I have been on eBay for 11 years, about 700 transactions - never received a negative feedback. . .I've only left a handful. . .but I've filed a lot of disputes. . .and sending someone something that is NOT what seemed to be described or was broken on arrival usually will win a dispute for a buyer - I've never lot one in 11 years. . .
However, I'm afraid to buy eggs and have only had them shipped once and from a fellow BYC member - arrived perfectly shaped, by and large and beyond well packaged. . .I'd expect the same from an ebayer and would leave negative feedback without a refund and file a dispute if I got anything less.​

I just won 28+ eggs on ebay; I checked the feedback on each seller before placing any bids. They all said the eggs arrived beautiful and in perfect condition, and I looked at what the sellers wrote about their offering to see if they sound like a quality person. That's the only way I can think to phrase it, I just mean that the descriptions weren't incoherently phrased and filled with typos like some are.

I paid for eggs and got one chick not long ago.

I don't think you can say they are infertile.

Eggs through the mail are always a major gamble.

It's why I've decided I'll never send eggs in the mail.

You folks are quoting me as if I were the original poster. I am not, at least not here. I made a decision to not dispute my seller or give a bad feedback because she was a first time shipper. I didn't request a refund or ask for more eggs as I didn't choose to *go there*. I've been in the middle of a very busy time of year and even though it was a significant amount of money It was just much easier to let it go. I was pretty put out when the eggs finally did arrive and were smashed and I didn't want to revisit that anger. I did speak to my seller (one from here, btw) and told her the packaging was extremely poor. She seemed to hear me, but one never knows. I still have 6 eggs in the bator which will go into lockdown in 3 days. I will try to candle them. I really don't expect development due to the way they were received, but one just never knows.

My point here is that you are quoting me, here, not the original poster. Please be sure you aren't putting words in her mouth by not giving credit where credit is supposed to come from. If you quote, be sure the poster's name is on it!

I know you're not the original poster; however, I was more or less just using what you said as an opening for both the OP, yourself and anyone else to get another
opinion on ebay, eggs, shipping and disputes. . . what I said was said to all readers and the OP. . . not just you, your statement just happened to sum up what I'm afraid some
sellers think is okay - that shippin is eggs is fulfilling their end of a sale. . . you were clearly okay with
having dealt with the seller as you did, but I did not what folks to think that if someone simply "sends" the eggs, that means it had to be good enough for a buyer or that is enough to be up to ebay standards, that is all.

The comment I left is relevant to the whole thread, and I think anyone reading the thread should pay attention to who says what. . .or not bother reading the thread - lol.
